The Gradient in use.

The Gradient is a Hardmode yoyo that can be purchased from the Skeleton Merchant for 20 GC during moon phases 1–4.

Its best modifier is Godly or Demonic. Both modifiers increase the average damage output by the same amount. However, Ruthless might be preferred if the player already has very high critical strike chance.

Trivia

The name Gradient comes from one of the many different yoyos sold by One Drop YoYos , and is the signature model of their sponsored player, Graeme Steller. Their logo is the symbol listed at the bottom of the item's tooltip.
